Can I display on a card in the kanban board if it has comments?

Erlend Therkelsen

We have quite a lot of cards on our Kanban board, and some of them have comments. It would be great if we could display on a card if it has comments or not. So we would know if there are more information on the card that we need to look at.

We are have a next-gen project.

Is there a nice way of doing this?

Hello Erlend,

Welcome to Atlassian Community.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to customize the Card's layout in JIRA Next-gen, so it is not possible to add new fields (informing if there are any comments in the ticket, for example) to the card view.

In fact, the Next-gen template was designed for those users who felt overwhelmed by the complexity of JIRA Classic template and requested a simpler option, straight to the point with fewer options of customization.

We have a feature request to implement this functionality here:

Ability to customize cards in next-gen projects

Feel free to vote and watch the suggestion to increase its priority and also receive notifications about any updates.

For now, I would recommend you to use a Classic Project of JIRA to achieve this goal, where you can add a custom field to be filled when any comments are added to the issues and configure it to be displayed in the board Cards.
